Giving to Christmas Cheer a rewarding experience

Having reached middle-age, that confusing period between infancy and residency at the old folks’ home, my wife and I have in recent years quit giving one another additional items around which to dust, opting instead to spend our holiday cash on a family we sponsor through Christmas Cheer.

Dawn Sternal and her troops at the Christmas Cheer office in downtown Burlington are great, and the families we’ve sponsored have all been appreciative, deserving and wonderful.

My wife and I get far more from the experience than we invest. Christmas, after all, tis the season of giving.

I recommend you consider sponsoring a family through Christmas Cheer. You’ll likely experience good feelings and good times, and come away with far fewer items around which to dust.
